It's like a kind word from your mother, a day of uninterrupted pleasure, a gentle hand that helps you when you stumble. It's like a cool breeze on a warm day, a friend that knows how to set you at ease, a bank error in your favor. It's a cheaply available replacement for all that you need, but it's a poor substitute and is exposed every morning. Look into it next time you take a body.
The first time I heard of this was in a book called _Drumming at the Edge of Magic_, written by former Greatful Dead drummer Mickey Hart. He was discussing the pervasiveness of rhythm, and used this as an example.
Of course, he didn't try to explain the science, and I wondered why at the time.
No problem...and I know the feeling. One feature I'd kill for is the ability to delete my posts as desired. That, or a breathalyzer built into my computer.
Really? Where? I ask you this question to have your advice. After all, every commercial nuke plant that I'm aware of is based around a FISSION reactor.
This past November, my father's computer crashed with multiple hardware failures. We took it to Best Buy and spent two months going back and forth with them over the problems. They'd send it out for repair and it would come back broken. In January the decided to just give him another machine. They settled on a HP...can't remember the model...off the shelf. I set it up for him, and booted it. And it hung. Tried everything I could think of. No good. I called tech support, and was told to restore the thing from the partition. No good. Next day, I went with him to the store to get it fixed. The desk techs tried to boot it, restore it, etc. No good. After an hour or two of futzing with it, they grabbed another one for him. Wiser now, he asked them to check it to be sure it ran. It didn't.
Hours later, they had pulled the entire stock (4 of that model, + the one we had returned) and tried to run them. Nothing. Defective shipment? Who knows.
They gave him a similar Compaq and sent us on our merry way.
Just outside the original borders - England extended its claim of territorial waters past the Sealand installation in 1987. Sealand is approximately 7 miles offshore of England...the original limit was 3 miles, but England extended the claim to 12 miles.

Of course, using accountname "Password" with password "Password" does the trick.

More, dammit! Alcohol only fills the hole for a day or so.

Wow...you read fark too?

I realize that you didn't directly threaten the President.
Do you realize that to do so would be an invitation to severe consequences?
Low UID or not?
Citizen or not?
Sig vs post
personally, i'd cut you in two with the katana i carry.
Before or after I dumped a half a clip in your throat?
I carry a knife, but not as a primary.
OTOH, have you noticed that the American armed forces only attack countries that have ineffective or non-existant air forces?
Show me the hostile nation that has an effective AF, Mr. Carlin.
Then dare them to piss off the US to the extent of provoking retaliation.
I, too, shoot to kill.

why would you give oral to an isreali
Because he's Joel
(Joel is a talented developer. He's also a former Isreali paratrooper and a homosexual, at least according to his website
from La Trobe University
Big deal. I hold a department chair at Old Latrobe University
I can't believe Slashdot just posts this psuedomathematical nonsense without doing even elementary fact-checking
You must be new.
Or at least have an everlasting optimism.
Mistranscription? or is there YAAIDK (Yet Another Abbreviation I Don't Know) being thrown about?

Right, the cartridges cost more.
The article mentioned situations where that was unacceptable.
$40 exceeds the price of a system in those cases.
From the article:
In the user space, for example, we also want to print color with the latest Postscript drivers.
Because we all have a cheap color printer laying around, right?
Dammit, if the idea is to support old / cheap machines, what is this sort of fluff?

Where are you? Memphis is dead.
Maybe they're hiring out at FedEx, but I don't think so - lumpers aside.
Yep. USAF, DEP, coming right up. All the tech I want, with job security built in.
4 planes.
Amen to that
